"I know! I'm not a three-year-old!"
"You're more worrisome than a three-year-old," the siblings teased each other.
As I walked into the restaurant lobby, I saw Li Yunwei walking towards me.
Chen Muxi was surprised to see her: "Sister Weiwei, what are you doing here?"
I explained with a smile, "The Imperial Garden belongs to her family."
"Wow!" Chen Muxi exclaimed in surprise, "So that's how it is! What a coincidence!"
Chen Muxi spends almost half of each year studying or performing abroad. Even when she returns to China, she stays immersed in her music and art circles and doesn't know much about other things.
After attending Mrs. Su's birthday banquet, I learned Chen Muxi's true identity and told my best friend about it.
So when Li Yunwei saw Chen Muxi with us, she wasn't surprised. She just smiled and greeted her, "Muxi, we meet again."
Then she greeted Su Shenglin, "Hello, Mr. Su."
Su Shenglin nodded gracefully: "Hello."
Chen Muxi looked us around and sighed, "It turns out that we've all been connected by fate all along."
I said, "The head chef of Yuyuan is also the head chef of your Suyuan."
"Is that so? What a coincidence!" Chen Muxi was as happy as a child.
Li Yun smiled and said, "Next time you come, it's my treat. Order whatever you want."
After saying that, she looked at me and reminded me, "Xiao Wan, you should arrange the time. Let me know when you've made it."
"Seriously?"
"Of course! I should have been treating you to this meal today. I just got back from outside, and you've all finished eating."
We were still exchanging pleasantries when Su Shenglin's secretary, Ji Ming, strode over and said, "Chairman Su, the car has arrived."
Li Yunwei understood and immediately said, "Then it's settled. You're all busy, so I won't try to keep you."
"Okay, goodbye, Weiwei." Chen Muxi waved, and we left together.
Su Shenglin was in a hurry, and his car was already parked in front of the restaurant.
Ji Ming opened the back door in advance, bent down and sat down: "I'm leaving first, you guys go have fun."
"Bye-bye." I looked at that handsome and well-mannered face through the lowered car window, suppressing the excitement in my heart.
The Audi A8 slowly drove away, and Chen Muxi breathed a sigh of relief. "My brother is finally gone. Nobody's watching me anymore. Let's go too!"
My car is a new energy vehicle worth over 300,000 yuan. It's very cost-effective for driving in the city, and I like it a lot.
But considering Chen Muxi's status, I felt a little embarrassed. "This car's comfort can't compare to your Porsche. I'm sorry to have to make it uncomfortable for you, Miss."
Chen Muxi said, "What are you saying! I'm not some delicate young lady."
We laughed and got into the car, heading towards my company.
We had to talk about something on the way, and thinking about how Chen Muxi was in front of Su Shenglin, I asked curiously, "Muxi, why are you so afraid of your brother? He doesn't seem like a scary person, he's quite easygoing."
"Heh!" Chen Muxi smiled strangely. "That's for you, isn't it? You're his savior, so of course he's kind and easy to get along with. Outside, he's a force to be reckoned with! Who doesn't treat him with utmost respect? Only my parents dare to speak harshly to him and give him the cold shoulder—oh, and my grandfather too!"
I remained silent, my mind drifting back to the first time I went to his company to borrow money, when I happened to catch him scolding his two subordinates, who were sweating profusely and trembling with fear.
"I really didn't realize that. I thought he was polite and approachable to everyone."
Chen Muxi turned around, her face full of interest. "Jiang Wan, it sounds like... you have a good impression of my brother?"
I was driving with my eyes straight ahead, but my heart skipped a beat.
What does this mean? Are they testing us?
"Hehe... With your brother's looks and qualifications, everyone would have a good impression of him, right?"
"Oh, I don't care about anyone else, I'm just asking you—what do you think of him?"
My smile became awkward, afraid that Chen Muxi would notice something, so I could only try to be perfunctory and say, "It's good, helpful and grateful."
Chen Muxi stared at me with a half-smile, without saying a word.
I was driving and couldn't turn around to look at her, but I could feel her observing me. I could only cover it up with a fake smile: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
“Nothing much,” she said, turning away and sitting down properly. “My brother’s feelings for you go beyond just gratitude.”
"What else?" My heart was racing, but I pretended not to know.
Sure enough, she turned around and asked directly, "Can't you tell?"
"I can't tell."
"Hehe... You two keep pretending, I want to see how long you can keep it up."
"..." I pursed my lips, not daring to speak, my heart pounding wildly.
Could I interpret her words as meaning that Su Shenglin does indeed like me, but just hasn't said it outright?
Moreover, Su Shenglin also realized that I had fallen for him as well.
sky--
We can't continue this topic, otherwise we'll cross the line and we won't be able to remain true friends.
After a moment of silence, I changed the subject: "By the way, Li Yunwei just said she'd treat us to dinner. When are you free?"
"Let's do it on the weekend, whenever you have time."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
When I got to the office, I turned on my computer and showed her a whole series of designs for horse-face skirts, letting her choose whatever she wanted.
Chen Muxi was taken aback: "Why did you design so many?"
"These are the design drafts I'm preparing to submit to Milan Fashion Week next February. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll start working on them."
"Wow...it's amazing!" Chen Muxi exclaimed repeatedly, then said with emotion, "Isn't this confidential? You're showing it all to me like this? You trust me too much."
